simple but chic
This bag is very simple in design but very chic-looking. I got the T'Moro brown and like the tonal look with the brown leather trims. I also got one in bordeaux from a local dept store. However, I noticed that the T'Moro browns that I got from QVC have permanent creases in their nylon material (like the nylon cloths were folded before they were sewn into a bag). Also, the part of the nylon where the leather trims were sewn onto the body of the bag are wrinkly (like they were sewn too tightly). My bordeaux one has no creases and the leather trims are sewn perfectly flat onto the nylon body. One difference I noticed is that the T'moro brown ones are assembled in Mexico and my bordeaux one is made in China. I'm not implying anything other than the fact that D&B might need to do tighter quality assurance in their factory in Mexico or use a different factory. The workmanship and material condition of the T'Moro browns that I received are inferior to the standards of the D&B line. I keep saying T'Moro browns because I actually ordered 4 but only one was acceptable while the other three had the issues I mentioned. The thing is that only QVC carries this bag in T'Moro brown, at least as of the date of this review.

Dooney Addiction
Just received this bag and I love it. Fabric is so much lighter than leather. I got the brown and the color is perfect. I have about six Dooney bags and I wish I could wear them all at the same time!

Will go everywhere with me starting now!
Could not wait to get this -- was not disappointed when I opened thebox! This has to be one of the most perfect D&B's ever -- love the lightweight nylon-- leather is too heavy for my everyday use -- thought about the barrel with the handles + strap but decided I didn't want that much "clutter" on the bag -- this is roomy inside with no center zipper divider and the pockets are perfect, even for my Galaxy SIII phone! I am just so excited -- added it to my D&B collection and I can just hear the others on the shelf complaining that they might be ignored for a good while!!!

nice lightweight Dooney bag
I got this bag in bordeaux and I love the color, the material, the styling, and it being practically weightless. Very roomy despite looking quite smaller. If you are petite and find that doctor's satchel handbags style still look big when you carry it, this is a great alternative. The new nylon has a bit of a shimmer. Really pretty. I really wanted to get the dark brown as well but it does attract white dust. Not really so bad, but because the bag is dark in color, it is somewhat noticeable. I can easily brush it off with my hand or blow the white dust away but that is not something that is always practical or attractive to be seen doing. Still debating because it is really a cute and nice-looking bag. It would be perfect for anyone but especially for older (and by older I mean, wiser and more beautiful) women as they don't have to be troubled by any weight at all.

Love at first sight!
This bag has everything I want in a bag. It's light, but yet has structure. The color is gorgeous (I got the orange, which is more muted than it shows in the picture ) , the straps are thin, yet sturdy. The size is perfect, big enough to shove all the things I need into but not huge. The best thing about it is that I can see everything when I open it.
Love this satchel!

Stylish Chic
WOW! This is my first D&B handbag and I couldn't be more pleased. I ordered it this past weekend when I was sick at home feeling sorry for myself. I immediately felt guilty. It arrived yesterday and I no longer feel those guilty pangs. The color, purple, is beautiful. The size is larger than I expected (not too big). The leather straps are perfectly narrow, well-constructed and their color is so rich (not as light as shown online). The inside of the handbag, which has a beautiful red lining, has a lot room and an amazing variety of pockets. The weight of the bag is perfect and I can already tell that it will hold its shape...no puddling. Time will tell if D&B will become my new love...but, it is certainly pointing in that direction.

Sophisticated and Stylish
My husband purchased this bag for me in black. I was concerned about the nylon fabric being shiny, but I love the fabric. I wish the bag had footings on the bottom to keep the shape. I have received several compliments on the bag. It is different from bags in the Dooney store.
Just the right size and love the trim.

Simple but elegant
I purchased this in the T-Moro brown. It is a beautiful bag and beautifully made. I adjusted the straps to be the longest they can be and it fits nicely over my shoulder. I have a purse organizer inside and it fits perfectly. It is a nice nylon (different than their other nylon bags) and not heavy at all. This is definitely a keeper.

Great Bag
I ordered in black and the bag is quite impressive. The "new" (per on air presentation) nylon fabric is fantastic but alas, the bag is just too big for me. Hope to see more bags in this newer fabric that are a bit smaller. Hate to have to return it but it is just to wide to be comfortable. My measurement for the width is way different than the measurements shown in the online description.
